Memories of My Father Watching TV by Curtis White, ISBN 1564781895
Memories of My Father Watching TV has as its protagonists television shows, around which the personalities of family members are shaped. The shows have a life of their own and become the arena of shared experience. And in Curtis White's hands, they become a son's projections of what he wants for himself and his father through characters in "Combat", "Highway Patrol", "Bonanza", and other television shows (and one movie) from the 1950s and '60s. Comic in many ways, Memories is finally a sad lament of a father-son relationship that is painful and tortured, displayed against a background of what they most shared, the watching of television, the universal American experience.

Why TV Is Not Our Fault: Television Programming, Viewers, and Who's Really in Control
This book dispels the myth that the television industry is just giving viewers the programming they want to see and, thus, we as viewers are responsible for the existence of shows like Fear Factor and yet another Survivor. In fact, Meehan explains, viewers exert no demand in the market. She also counters the idea that TV programs reflect our culture directly. Introducing us to the political economy of television, Meehan covers programming, corporate strategies, advertising, network competition, and organizations that seek more industry accountability. She tells us why TV isn't our faultand who's really to blame.
